Everyone has the potential to do it, not just Asarians. However, for Asarians, magic isn't just a hobby or a job, it's not even just a lifestyle it's LIFE for them. Having magic in their lives is like breathing, even the ones who can't actually do magic.
Magic does tend to run in family lines which is part of why the family clans of Asaria are so powerful, and probably part of why they like to keep to themselves, but it's entirely possible for someone with parents who can't use magic to have the ability as well. To hear the Asarians talk about it, you're either born with magic or you're not, but learning how to use it and what methods work best for a person is a huge process and how it manifests and when is part of that. Apparently.
I might have to add magic primers to my list of things to try and find here for you, it would probably have better answers on the hows and whys.
But I'll tell you what. Meet me for coffee or a drink or something, and I can tell you about the kind of magic I DO know really well, in exchange for you telling me about your metahumans?
[ Yes, Cisco knows that is probably a better idea than talking about all this via text. Plus, that way he can ask her to demonstrate something, maybe. ]
